Mother Earth Sweatlodge
Join us for a life-affirming ceremony around the fire and in the darkness of the sweat lodge.
Let's give thanks to life through our prayers, through our songs and words, drums and sweat in an ancient ceremony. Let's call upon the Temple of Grace to remember the beautiful way of loving interaction with the world. Let's call upon our ancestors for guidance in the womb of the sweatlodge, offering mugwort and tobacco to unite the new and old worlds in harmony.
Bring your sorrows and lay them on the altar together with your offerings - to name and to overcome your obstacles, to open up and receive what is given. Help others with your presence and be held by the group for four rounds in the dark, with hot stones and steam, songs and prayers for a new life.
We sweat
In four rounds we sweat together with our loved ones to give thanks to creation. With prayers for all that exists and with humble surrender to the greater answer, we receive what we need through the medicine of our ancestors, through the elements, through all aspects of Great Spirit and Mother Nature.
We sweat for the reconnection of our minds to the greater fabric of life, for the cleansing of our bodies, for the healing of our loved ones - to create sacred pathways of life from darkness to light.
Who can come
Feel free to arrive with your family, your children and/or your partner. We welcome all to build the altair, the lodge and the fire. During the ritual - as soon the stones are ready, the ceremonial space is mainly for the once participating. All others can be there in silence with a helpful spirit in mind.
For the once who cannot be in ceremony there is also space in the center with kitchen / living room, a joint sleeping room, a separate comunnity wagon to hang out and to rest.
We are welcoming the young - together with someone they trust.
We are welcoming the feminine - within all stages of the moon
We are welcoming the masculine - for its renewal through a heroes journey
Since we will be naked in the lodge, we ask that you wear as much as you need and as little as you dare. The darkness in the lodge makes it possible for many to enter wearing only a towel.
Contraindications
Going into a sweatlodge is generally safe - As a rule of thumb, if you can go into a sauna, you can go into a sweatlodge.
Only if you have acute heart or lung problems or sever metal health problems you can you not go in, but you are welcome to take part of the ceremony around the fire. Please check in with you physician if you are in doubt - and let us know!
Sweating is great for your physical and mental health and in our experience the Sweatlodge is even better. We have seen improvements in depression, anxiety, insomnia and many more
However, please contact us if you have any doubts, fears or concerns about your wellbeing!
More about that you will also find in our general information about Sweatlodge
